I think haiyang kang claimed exactly that - it won't ever be input to a program. I trust him on that - and so should you, unless you have sufficient experience with the Chinese language and writing system. > Note that I'm not saying this is common.

And indeed, for the Chinese numerals, we have such strong evidence.
